Well, you might want to ask the bears about that one, because the bear population now numbers about 24,000 - up about 40 percent from 1974. Still the US Interior Department will decide on Friday whether to list polar bears as a threatened species. And if anyone has seen Penn and Teller's take on the Endangered Species Act, it'll make the list.
Update: made the list. But the Interior department added stipulations mainly so that environmentalist groups cannot use its placement as a way to all-out stop everything under global warming and its effects on the bears.
Also, props to Pacific Legal Foundation who are now suing this additional of a thriving species to the endangered species act.

I also heard the number of elephants in Africa has tripled in the last 6 months.
